Sue was in a big rush to get her daughter's wedding crazy completed ....................
it made our lives so much easier with my book - we discussed what should go where and what she could find it in - and before we knew it, the wall hanging was complete.

Needless to say, Sue's daughter loved it!!!!

I can see why - great use of the two colours, Sue.

I suggested to some of my students that we should embroider our initials................
it was a lot of fun and, once again my job was made easy by suggesting where they could find the stitches in "Foolproof crazy quilting"..........

Gail's surname begins with a G - the mirrored G's look great!!

A big thank you to all my students who allow me to share their beautiful work.

I have to be honest, I often feel very emotional when I see the work that is done by my "students". It is evident from their work that they have thoroughly enjoyed the process of crazy quilting. I have often said that one of the main reasons I love crazy quilting is that it is unique to the maker. I have taught the same stitches etc to a class of women and all their work is different - it's almost like a celebration of their interpretation of the stitches and techniques I have taught them.

So, these very feelings of emotion came over me when I popped into the Caloundra group to oversee the completion of their workshop.

Lenore's work featured in this post - and Suz and Anne's work in the next few posts - is quite wonderful.
Lenore used conquered the oyster stitch and turned them into half flowers along a seam.

............ants, a trellis of sequins and buds. Not to mention the embroidered motif - which was white and Lenore changed it completely with her embroidery!
